On Thursday night (October 16), Jhene Aiko was slated to appear alongside Rick Ross, DMX, Fabolous and more at the Barclays Center for Def Jam's 30th anniversary concert, but was mysteriously a no-show. After fans asked what was up on her Instagram page, the singer didn't hold back as she recounted, "me and my camp were told to 'get the f*** out' by 'workers' while I was waiting to go on stage...after this 'worker' (male) physically assaulted a member of my management (female)." She also expressed anger at a perceived double standard, claiming that "if me and my band members were any of the rappers that were performing there, we would never have been talked to or treated in such a way."
